According to Bisping's analysis, Weidman is only in a dominant position in the 84 kg category for circumstantial reasons. The Englishman sees reservations in all the great victories of the North American's career, especially those obtained over Anderson Silva.

“I respect Chris, he is a fantastic family man, a fantastic fighter and a great champion. [But] Circumstances allowed him to look like Superman”, pointed out Bisping, in an interview with the North American website “MMA Junkie”.

“I always say that everything happened circumstantially for him. He defeated Mark Muñoz, who had been out of action for a long time and had a terrible performance. Afterwards, he fought for the title and Anderson Silva behaved like an idiot. Afterwards, Anderson broke his leg. With Machida, I don't think that fight was good. Rockhold showed that Machida is not everything people thought he was. Afterwards, Weidman fights Vitor without his ‘juice’”, continued the Englishman.

Bisping will return to the Octagon next month, when he faces Thales leites in the main fight of the first UFC event in Scotland.
